The
mission of Back Country Primitives is,
and always will be, to help guide you
through every step of the creative
process. Back Country Primitives’
artist, Dave Constine, will personally
work with you to make sure you get that
one of a kind work of art. It's always
great to create a custom sign that has
special meaning to loved ones. It could
be as simple as an old family saying or,
in the case of one client, an old Latin
phrase to hang in his classroom. If you
can dream it, Dave can help make it a
reality. At Back Country Primitives,
each sign is a unique work of art and no
two will ever look the same. Signs are
heavily distressed and hand stained for
that authentic primitive feel, made to
look and feel like they were made over
100 years ago!!! |

Dave
Constine spent 18 years working in the
film/video production business as a
photographer and post production
supervisor before he launched Back
Country Primitives. He has his masters
in visual media arts from Emerson
College in Boston, MA. A couple years
ago, Dave was looking for a very
specific antique for his kitchen.... an
antique sign from the late 1800's -
early 1900's, but he could not find
anything he liked. So he started doing
mountains of research on antique signs
including characteristics of style,
aging, discoloration, distressing,
design and overall appearance. It's
taken time, patience and a lot of wood
and paint, but it finally paid off. Dave
slowly started making primitive wood
signs for family and friends as gifts.
Soon he started to get requests from
people who saw his primitive wood signs,
and in October of 2009 he went full time
with Back Country Primitives.
